Ist ein ganz interessanter Film mit all den Schleusen und Kanälen!

I've really enjoyed following your journey. So nice to see cruisers over 40. It's inspiring for those of us with teenagers at home.

Oh, thank you!! ❤️ and you may well say „over 50“ even… 😂 We are preparing for the new season, hoping to start again in mid April…

Oh….. das ist sicher jedesmal ein Erlebnis…….❤️…..vielleicht bei einem nächsten Besuch😜🥰

Another great video loved the music.

What a great season and lovely to see your journey through the most beautiful shortcut in the world! Well done both of you and very well done to you, Daniel, for surviving that blister! 😉See you soon. Asha & Mark

Thanks guys! See you soon!

Will do. We’re travelling (in dry land) until mid Feb so, if back in the water by then, I’ll be sure tap on your hull. We’re on K42.

Thank you - loved it, learning about the Crinan canal - Tabert and Largs

@@sailingpolaristhat is a good recommendation - i loved your videos

Largs is a short distance from where my Mum lives. This made me quite homesick. Thank you for posting.

Welcome back to Largs, it’s been a fantastic year for you exploring!

Well done on a cracking 2023 season.its been fantastic to be part of your adventures. Looking forward to 2024. Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year.🎉

Thank-you for your vids around the beautiful and scenic west coast of Scotland (my beloved homeland). I wish you a great Christmas and excellent sailing adventures next year! 👍😃

Thank you for a wonderful series. It has been great following you round familiar waters and on to new places for us, such as the Faroes. Your presentations of sail planning was much appreciated by my wife. 😊 We wish you a merry Christmas, a very Happy New Year and look forward to following your adventures to come.

Thanks for watching and see you in 2024!

I lived in Argyll, went to school in Oban, and go back as often as I can. Crinan is lovely, and so is Tarbert. It is a beautiful county. So your video was entertaining and brought back many memories. Thank you! I am interested in photography so bear with me as I offer some unsolicited advice! If you want to take your videos to the next level, get some better camera equipment. Get cameras with higher image quality and image stabilisation, a gimbal, and a tripod is an absolute necessity! Spend more time on sweeping scenery shots because that's what people want to see (unless this is only for your friends!) - the vista of the isles from Crinan and Tarbert harbour are more beautiful than you let on! All the best and Happy Christmas! Haste ye back!

Thanks for watching and for your feedback! We are still learning and appreciate any tips to improve!

Have a great New Year guys 🥳🎉🥃

And the very best of the season to you guys. It’s been fun watching you navigate our home waters (our yacht ‘Liv of Nyhavn’ is berthed in Largs). Hopefully we’ll bump into each other after the new year on the marina as we prep for the new year (we’re focusing on the servicing or maybe replacement of the sails & the spray hood + replacing the life raft in early 2024). See you around & I look forward to your 2024 vids.

Hi John, just give us a knock on the hull, we should be on the top of N pontoon when we're going back in. Would be great to meet!

I’ve really enjoyed your story of the season, great content; I don’t sail but do enjoy watching. I berth my fishing boat at Largs and I am down there fairly regularly all year, I’ll say hello if I see you guys sometime. Have a great Christmas.

Thank you and thanks for watching! Do tap on our hull when you pass, we're on N pontoon! Would be great to meet you!

Great following you on your journey and looking forward to learn about your future endeavours. Enjoy the holiday in Switzerland (currently flying there too for the same reason).

Hello, another great episode. Can you please tell us about Polaris draught? I am planning to go through Crinan canal with an Oceanis 46.1 (2,35m draught) and your running aground experience makes me doubt about this plan. Thanks

Hi Edouard, your boat with 2.35m should fit in. According to the Canal Guide d1hxd0sho1wxko.cloudfront.net/production/general/Crinan-Skippers-Guide.pdf the maximum draft is 2.7m, although you should add 10cm to your normal draft due to freshwater and boats over 2.2m draft should call the Canal office 24h beforehand to ensure there is enough water. We touched the side of the canal with our keel and double rudder, not the ground. I was distracted and got away from the middle line...
